. If not, should I assume that the MCU is bad because it always reads high? Many thanks to anyone willing to wade through all this! -- Dave WB4JTT --- On Wed, 12/31/08, Don Wilhelm w3...@embarqmail.com wrote: From: Don Wilhelm w3...@embarqmail.com Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K2 PLL reference

Hello and Happy New Year to everyone. I have owned K2 serial no. 3980 for about five years and it has worked flawlessly. A couple of days ago it stopped tuning properly. Instead of tuning across a signal, it now acts like a crystal controlled radio that tunes in discrete steps of

Dave, Yes, do check U5, but ignore the voltages on pins 1, 2 and 3 because they are digital and the active state may not correspond with the voltage measured with a DMM. U5 pin 8 must have 5 volts DC for the chip to work - if that is not true, stop (all other tests are futile). Next monitor
